Throughout the entire play, Wilde uses satire to point out the triviality of Victorian life. He points out the superficiality of the time and the desire to keep up appearance found in the upper class specifically. Along with these, Wilde shows the upper class as being hypocritical and absurd. This quotation highlights Wilde's satirical approach. Algernon, speaking to Jack, talks about his habit of "Bunburying," creating a fictitious persona to allow one to travel between the country and city without question. Algernon believes that a person should be serious about one thing in order to enjoy other aspects of life. Ironically, the one thing the Algernon is serious about is a completely ridiculous practice. Futhermore, he accuses Jack of being serious about too many things in life, making Jack's nature "absurdly trivial." Wilde uses verbal irony to support his satire.
